Alaric POV . . There was only one reason why I didn't want to come back here. The reason why I also left billions of years ago. I had wonderful and mischievous memories of my childhood in the world of the gods and goddesses. I could say I was blessed to be chosen as the firstborn of the most powerful goddess in this realm. Aside from that, she made me her prince and bestowed the power to represent my kind, the vampires. At first, everything was great. Everything seemed to be perfect... Until I met the vampire princess from the South Coven. She was beautiful beyond comparison. She was naive and looked innocent, but the world coated her with the ancient human saying, 'Don't judge a book by its cover!' For she was the best example of that phrase. Behind those sweet smiles and a gentle-looking face, that soft voice and humble behavior lay a venomous woman with a dark secret. Her name was Nomiko, the only vampire princess and heir to the throne of the vampire king, King Hachi
Logan POV . . "The weapon is inside Logan, Alaric. Use your instinct to choose the right door!" The moon goddess was ethereal but, at the same time, cunning. I thought once we got here, we were going to face Alectrona right away. However, it was her whom we met first instead. "How many chances do we have?" I questioned, having Jaque in my mind. "Also, before I choose, I have to ask you about Thorin. Does he really need to die, or is there another way to tame my wolf?" That also concerned me the most. Thorin was my half, my life as well. As much as possible, I didn't want to lose him, too. "Thorin is your embodiment, but when he is in his own comfort zone, he can be mischievous, just like in the old times. All you need to do for your wolf is to remind him of your relationship on Earth. He is indeed a lone wolf here, but not where you were born. Thorin doesn't need to perish. You just have to remind him of his life with you!" That made a lot of perfect sense. How come I d
Logan POV . . 'Come on, buddy. Please, talk to me!' I have been speaking to him for less than an hour now, and the only thing I received was either a snort or a snarl. 'Thorin, we need to work together. I don't know what else I am going to do. Whatever that is that made you upset, I am sorry. Really, really sorry. Thorin!' Until I was answered by a complete silence. I took a deep sigh, resting my mind for a while. I got up from the wide lounge chair and ambled toward the quiet fountain. My eyes rummaged through the crystal-clear water and some fish that were swimming gladly under it. The place was perfect, but my mind was a mess. I just had no idea what else to do. I shut my eyes and lifted my head to the infinity clouds. 'What do you want me to do, Thorin?' I asked, more like talking to myself. But I was surprised when my wolf responded. 'Release me!' His voice was deep. When I opened my eyes, I was welcomed by a pair of burning red orbs. 'Release me, human!' He was
Jaque POV . . "I'm starving!" I uttered while we were in the middle of resting here in the living room in Logan's mansion. It looked like the baby wolf inside me was the same as its dad, a foodie. "You're going to be strong and healthy, little pea!" I whispered. "What food do you want? I will cook!" Adam asked. He never left my side. He literally stayed with me the whole time. "I want something juicy and meaty. Can you cook me a steak? I have heard from the omegas in your mansion before that sometimes they see you cook!" I fully remembered their words for him when he was not around. The omegas would usually say our alpha is a jack-of-all-trades leader. He could lead, fight well, and do menial jobs like cooking. "Sure, why not!" He got up and strode to the kitchen. "Wait there. Just watch your favorite. I will be back once I am done cooking!" He even jokingly winked at me, making me chuckle. While I was alone, I couldn't help but think about Logan. How was he doing there
Jaque POV . . "No, you didn't!" I exclaimed, chuckling at his funny story during his Alpha Training. "Yes, I did. The high alpha in the training was shocked when he saw what happened. He immediately interrogated everyone, and I was kind of an obedient Alpha-to-be, so I was exempted from the interrogation and punishment!" Adam proudly uttered, narrating how mischievous he was in their training camp. He was just telling me that he pranked his fellow trainee, the future Alpha of Crescent Pack, by placing a fresh dead toad under his pillow. This Alpha was a bully, and he was also arrogant, so when he messed up with Adam, he had no idea that he messed with the wrong future Alpha. "How did you know he was scared of a dead toad?" I asked as I crossed my legs, being comfortable sitting beside him. "I had my ways of investigating. I asked one of the victims of his bullies and promised them a wonderful show. As simple as that, the victim gave me information about that future alp
Jaque POV . . "That is a bomber!" I whispered under my breath. The princess of the sea had a crush on Adam. "Adam, what do you think about it?" I asked the still-speechless Alpha, but he just glanced at me instead. "Huh?! What did you say?" His mind was flying. "I am sorry. I can't... I will leave you ladies alone!" He took the tray of food and hastily left, leaving me and Witch Anya alone in the room. "Hmm! Obvious, she has feelings for him, and he...is a mess!" Witch Anya chuckled. "So, my dear. I have prepared everything for our transportation. Potions for protection, invisibility, and strength. Also, I bought some toys and diapers for my grandson. I bought some baby clothes, too!" She showed me the shopping bags, and I was stunned at what she just shopped. Indeed, Witch Anya was more excited than me. My tummy was still flat, but she shopped baby stuff like I was giving birth next month. "Ahm, I just prepared my clothes and some blankets and pillows. Adam is now just wa
Amira POV . . Me?! Had a crush on an alpha?! No way! That witch was mistaken. I was just watching over my younger sister and her unborn child. Nothing more, nothing less. The heck, would I have a fling on a lowly leader of a pack? I was the moon goddess-only princess, and I represented one of the elements on Earth. "My princess!" "Huh?!" I almost jolted on my spot. I put my hand on my chest and turned around to reveal Ayesha, my servant, for years. "Ayesha, what's the matter?!" I asked, calming down. "My apologies, my princess. Did I startle you?!" She asked, concerned. "I saw you muttering, but I couldn't exactly understand what you're saying. I thought you were talking to me!" She stepped forward, but I stopped her. "I just remembered something. Go take some rest now, Ayesha. We have a lot to do tomorrow. We have to continue looking for some traces of Serena and her omega. I can feel that they are just near but at the same time far away from us. Alectrona must have
Amira POV . . I groaned at the soreness I felt. My temples were still aching. I was still dizzy, and I had no idea where I was. I gradually opened my eyes to welcome Shiva and Adam sitting next to me. "Thank goddess, you are awake!" Shiva touched my forehead. "You have a little fever!" She said, wondering. "What?!" Fever?! I never had a fever in my life. I was the moon goddess's daughter, for Pete's sake. However, I never once had a wound either. That log had something in it. Serena was powerful. Perhaps Alectrona transferred some of her powers to her. "How are you feeling? You got me worried. You've been sleeping all day!" Shiva explained. "Witch Anya made some herbal medicine for you!" I tried to get up, but I dropped myself back to bed instead. "Don't force yourself if you can't get up yet!" Shiva held both of my shoulders and gently laid me down. "Thanks. Where am I?" I glanced around to see an unfamiliar room. It looked like a room of a man. "You are in Adam's ro
Logan POV . . "The Presidential Suite it is. Aren't you going to finish the feast, King Logan?" King Bodvar asked. "I am very much eager to be with your wife, King Bodvar. So, if I may. I would like to rest now!" I told her as I gripped Queen Anicia's hand, making her whimper. "Huh! The queen of the werebear kingdom is yours for tonight. Let me know in the morning at breakfast if she satisfies you!" He even winked. He didn't care if his first wife was being raped by anyone. I glanced at the queen, whose eyes were still pleading. I had to do something before it would be too late. I turned around and stared deeply at her. I glanced at my beta, and he secretly nodded. He spoke to the king about the food to distract his attention. "You understand what I signed earlier?" I whispered as I moved my lips closer to her ears, pretending I was kissing her. "Yes, I do. Let's go before he changes his mind!" She replied. Without further ado, we exited the banquet and left the kin
Logan POV . . We had been wasting time for a couple of hours. Every time I would open the topic about the deranged werebears, he would start a new story about his kingdom. He would command his wives to entertain us. He would always find ways to channel the main reason why we came here into another conversation. Just like now, he began speaking about how the werebear kingdom had started. "My grandfather was ruthless!" He let out a crazy laugh, enough to get my ears twitch. "He invaded four small werebear tribes and began a small kingdom. He made those tribe chiefs his advisers!" "Impressive. Making your enemies your advisers!" Beta Jackson chuckled. "He was vicious!" Henry butted in with a sneer. "Indeed. The vicious werebear king of all. Those tribe chiefs couldn't do anything. They were all under his feet. Even their wives were offered to him, and their sons became the warriors of his kingdom!" "Hmm!" I just reacted. That reminded me of someone. My own grandfather. He cre
Logan POV . . We were on our way to the werebear kingdom. It was reported that King Bodvar's grandfather bought the whole island to build his kingdom, and now, as time passed by, it was progressing. Upon arriving at the airport, my Beta and five warriors took our luggage and strode straight to the exit. The Immigration checked our belongings. One of the officers sternly stared at us while opening the zipper of our luggage. This officer was not human. He was a~ "You must be King Logan from the Shadow Rock!" He whispered, making me gaze deeply at him. "I am Henry, assistant of King Bodvar. I am here to pick you!" He uttered as he raised his hand, and five brawny and bearded men appeared at the door. "I see!" We let them carry our stuff and followed them closely. The airport was crowded, not because of the passengers waiting for their flight, but because these humans couldn't stop staring at us. We were like celebrities being surrounded by our fans. It was a good thing I was we
King Bodvar POV . . At the Werebear Kingdom... "My king!" The door slid open in my office. I lifted my head and closed the book I was reading. I creased my brows at my assistant and slammed the book on my mahogany desk. "Forgive me, my king. This is a letter from the Rogue King, King Logan Knight!" "What's the matter?!" I took the envelope from my assistant and read his letter. It has his stamp marked in red at the bottom of the paper. The logo of his kingdom was on top, along with its name, Shadow Rock. "Hmm! Prepare a feast. We will have important visitors tomorrow night. The mighty Rogue King and his Beta are coming to our kingdom!" I placed King Logan's letter in the drawer and got up. I fixed the collar of my suit before patting Henry's shoulder. He had been my assistant for years and the only one I could trust. "My king, what is the purpose of his visit?" He asked, curious. I walked past him and stood straight near the glass wall, watching the sunshine. My building
Logan POV . . "I want to buy their new branded phones. I have read on their news that they have new models of phones every day. And their sauna there is wonderful. Logan, can we go tomorrow? I will ask Katrina to pack our stuff in a jiffy. She will also go with us, right? Witch Anya, too!" She was thrilled that she couldn't stop talking. She paced back and forth with excitement. "Can Jackson and Kelly go with us? Oh no! They can't, right? Jackson has some work to do here while we are gone. But Kelly and Jack can go, right? A hundred percent they can go with us!" I had to stop her from imagining wild. "Sweetheart, you have to stop there for a while and think about this through!" "But why? The kingdom has three private planes. There is no problem, just in case. We can bring five to ten omegas and warriors with us. There won't be any danger, Logan!" What was going on with my mate? She suddenly changed, I thought. "I know. You are right. Let's go home first and talk about th
Logan POV . . I was irked in pain while the royal doctor healed my wounds. I had a wolf, but Shiva had done so much that even my healing ability couldn't heal them. "Sh!t! That's hurt!" "Forgive me, King Logan, but your wounds are deep!" The royal doctor uttered. "The queen is scary!" He added. Our imperial physician had been with us since my grandfather's reign, and he was like a grandfather to me. He was one of the wolves who could comment like this about Jaque. "Doctor, you have no idea!" I told him. When she was biting me earlier, I felt she also bit my clavicle. "Could you also check my bones?" The doctor coughed hard at my question. "Why?" I sternly asked him. "Yes, you are right on that one. Your clavicle is broken. We have to put on a bandage and you must wear this for a while!" He showed me the sling, and my eyes widened. "You have to wear this until it is completely healed. And no sparring or sports for you!" "F*ck! I have never worn any of that in my entire
Jaque POV . . I was enraged when that vamp put her hands on my mate's shoulders and moved her annoying face near his cheek. I didn't care if she was saying something, but as a responsible mate, he should have pushed her. But heck no! He also moved his head to the side, meeting her lips. From my angle, they were almost kissing each other. I couldn't control Shiva's emotions at that time she shifted right straight into his room, making Katrina clamp her mouth in shock. She even sprinted to the corner when she saw how big Shiva was. They had never seen me shift before. They just saw my claws, my fangs, and the glow in my eyes. Some of them had never seen my wolf yet. This would be the first time. I printed quietly out of the room, remembering my goal. I didn't want to create a show in front of these vamps. It's not yet the right time to appear in my wolf form in front of them, especially to that vamp b!tch. But I could take exception to my mate. I hid in the corner while waiti
Logan POV . . "Amber is right, King Logan!" Cassius seconded. "There is someone in the room who is more qualified to be Prince Alaric's temporary successor!" This old vamp didn't want to give up. This was what Alaric was telling me before. There were hard-headed elders in the council who were also greedy for power, and the first one on the list was Cassius. "Alright, like I said. Present me that qualified member of yours!" I gently slammed the table, a tad bit impatient. I glanced at the doctor who had been silent since the meeting commenced. I had no idea what was running in his mind, but his calmness was somewhat intriguing. "King Logan, that vampire is no other than me!" Suddenly, Amber, the Council leader's daughter, answered. Some of the vampires at the table nodded, agreeing with Cassius and his daughter. However, Doctor Williams was just staring at everyone. His head didn't move, but his orbs were glancing from left to right. He was stealthily observing his fellow va
Jaque POV . . "Logan, you're back!" I hastily ran toward him and hugged him tightly, ignoring that I was wet all over. Logan hugged me back while his stare was with Doctor Williams. The doctor had just looked down at the floor. His lips formed a thin smile. "I had just arrived from the mansion of the leader of the Vampire Council. Since not all vampire leaders can come tonight, I just gave Cassius a ride to the palace!" He cupped my face and kissed my lips, much to my surprise. The kiss was possessively deep and somewhat threatening. When he released my lips, he glanced back at the doctor, who was still bowing his head. "What about you, my queen? What have you been doing since you woke up?" There was some hidden meaning in his questions, and the tone of his voice was sarcastic. "Oh! I was swimming with Katrina when Doctor Williams arrived for the meeting!" I glanced at Katrina, who was carrying a towel. She hastily strode toward me and hung the towel on my shoulders. "I s
